I'm so glad you like it. It was a bit challenging to get it from my iPhone to my computer but I finally remembered how!

Those elements that you mention are just what I was trying to accomplish. I am pleased that you saw them!

I thought that the placement in front of the window-shade would be great, and it is.

This healthy orchid came to me this way. The gift-giver gave me simple instructions on how to keep it looking this good, and I have been complying!

I'm glad you're enjoying my photo.
